El Espectáculo De Fenómenos
Acrylic on canvas, 2026
60 × 90 cm
This work examines performance and spectatorship. The repeated or distorted figures suggest fragmentation — the tension between the self that is observed and the self that observes. Exaggerated expressions operate almost theatrically, evoking the spectacle of identity in public space. The title references not spectacle as entertainment, but spectacle as exposure — the uneasy line between visibility and vulnerability.
An American Idiot: In Power
Acrylic and marker on paper, 2026
29.5 × 36 cm
This painting replaces a traditional symbol of leadership with one of destruction, emphasizing power in the hands of a nation capable of immense force.
In today’s climate, the image reflects ongoing tensions and critiques leadership marked by impulsive decisions and misuse of power. It points to how authority, backed by overwhelming military strength, can be exercised through constant threats without clear consequences.
The figure’s detached expression suggests a distance from the human impact of those choices, while the casually held grenade underscores how normalized violence and weaponry have become.
Drawing inspiration from Green Day’s American Idiot (2004), the piece recontextualizes its iconic symbolism for the present moment.
By Heart I: Child’s Play
Acrylic and pen on paper, 2026
29.5 × 36 cm
This piece reflects a familiar moment from childhood: taking turns jumping into a long rope, repeating the same movements and rhythms with others. The image captures a simple activity that once felt continuous and effortless.
The scene focuses on repetition and participation, where the act itself mattered more than the outcome. What was once routine now feels distant, shaped by memory and time.
“Child’s Play” considers how ordinary moments of play become lasting impressions, even as their details begin to fade.
By Heart II: In Rhythm
Acrylic and pen on paper, 2026
29.5 × 36 cm
This piece reflects a familiar moment from childhood: playing hand-clapping games, where movement and rhythm are shared between two people. The image captures an activity that once felt continuous and instinctive.
The scene focuses on coordination and repetition, where timing and connection shape the experience. What was once routine now feels distant, shaped by memory and time.
“In Rhythm” considers how simple, shared actions create lasting impressions, even as their exact patterns begin to fade.
La magia que ella cultiva
Acrylic on canvas, 2026
50 × 50 cm
An exploration of cultivated magic —
inspired by the hands that first taught me how to grow it.
Rooted in gardens, handmade things, and the enduring belief
that light, when tended carefully, always finds a way to bloom.
Mía
Acrylic and pen on paper, 2026
29.5 × 36 cm
La memoria guarda cosas extrañas: una camioneta estacionada, un patio junto a la casa, una pelota en el aire y una voz diciendo “mía”. Esta obra es un homenaje a mi tío y a las formas silenciosas en las que quienes amamos siguen acompañándonos.
By Heart III: Recital
Acrylic and pen on paper, 2026
29.5 × 36 cm
This piece reflects a familiar moment from childhood: standing in a classroom, repeating memorized words alongside others. The act becomes rhythmic and automatic, performed daily without pause.
The scene focuses on repetition and collective participation, where the gesture and spoken routine are shared but often unexamined. What was once instinctive now feels distant, shaped by memory and time.
“Recital” considers how repeated actions in childhood, whether routine or ritual, become lasting impressions as they linger in our memory.
Osito
Acrylic on canvas, 2026
40 × 50 cm
Before Spain ever felt like home, Bear was the last piece of Texas I still carried with me. Bringing him across the ocean became more than an adventure — it became part of a larger story about grief, transition, and learning that love could be gentle, freely given, and easy. This piece is not only a portrait of my dog, but of the quiet way love found me again.
Cosas Mexicanas I: La Piñata
Acrylic on canvas, 2026
60 × 80 cm
Cosas Mexicanas es una serie arraigada en la experiencia vivida. Las obras parten de momentos, objetos y escenas que han dado forma a mi comprensión de la identidad mexicana — no como símbolos estáticos, sino como encuentros.
Esta primera pieza de la serie toma la piñata como figura central de celebración y actuación. Suspendida entre la fiesta y la ruptura, está destinada a ser observada, golpeada y finalmente fragmentada. El ritual del impacto la transforma de ornamento en revelación. A través de la repetición y la exhibición pública, la obra reflexiona sobre cómo la identidad cultural transita entre la intimidad y el espectáculo.
Invocación
Collaboration with Celena A.
(After an original drawing and mural by Celena A.)
Acrylic and marker on canvas, 2026
60 × 80 cm
Invocation is a painted reinterpretation of an original drawing by Celena A. While her work explored discovery, this version shifts toward spiritual summoning — a movement from finding something to deliberately calling it into presence. The piece exists in the tension between what is encountered and what is invoked.
El Custodio
Acrylic on canvas, 2026
100 × 150 cm
Entre la vigilancia y la vulnerabilidad, esta obra explora cómo las palabras pueden distorsionar el significado del amor.
La protección no siempre se grita.
A veces simplemente permanece.
Matar Cucarachas
Acrylic and marker on paper, 2026
29.5 × 36 cm
This drawing reverses the rhetoric of invasion and infestation often present in political discourse. By rendering symbols of enforcement and political allegiance as cockroaches occupying the space, the work questions who is labeled as a threat and who is granted legitimacy. It considers how metaphor shapes perception — and how language can reframe belonging, power, and exclusion.
